Cornell University’s superconducting niobium nine-elliptical-cell cavity testing and repair program is one contributor to the collaborative effort on critical SRF R&D for the ILC. The Cornell University program benefits from several unique features which provide for the rapid testing and, if necessary, repair of ILC nine-cell cavities: a continuous vertical electropolish procedure, superfluid helium second sound defect location, and tumble polishing. First, we report on the cavity 2K RF performance and the effect of micro-EP preceding the cavity test. Single-cell results at KEK have shown that micro-EP as a final surface treatment reduces the spread in gradients, but micro-EP has not yet been tried with multi-cell cavities. Secondly, we report on the highly efficient method of detecting defects using a few He-II second sound wave detectors and powering several modes of the 1.3GHz TM010 passband.
